Thomas A. Gaudette papers, 1938-1996.

The Thomas A. Gaudette Papers consist of materials gathered by Thomas Gaudette, a disciple of Saul Alinsky, to document both his work in community organizing as well as that of other persons and groups. The collection contains both textual and non-textual materials. The former includes newspaper clippings, magazine and journal articles, book reviews, correspondence, conference materials, community organization flyers, brochures, newsletters, and annual reports. Non-textual holdings consist of photographs, video tapes, and audio cassette tapes. The photographs (usually Kodak color) are mainly personal photographs that Thomas Gaudette made of the organizing meetings he attended and organizers he met. The chronological span of the holdings is from 1938 to 1996, with the majority of the materials found after 1960. The collection has been organized into series based on the arrangement conceived by Gaudette.
